ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a coupling system for securing an eyeglass frame to a cap visor, and more particularly to a coupling system which includes at least one magnetic article inlaid in the cap visor and a protruding member provided with at least one magnetic article therein and mounted on the top rim of the eyeglass frame so as for the eyeglass frame convenient to be securely coupled to the cap visor by the mutual magnetic attractive force of the at least one magnetic article inlaid in the cap visor and the at least one magnetic article in the protruding member.
2. Description of the Related Art
Referring to
FIG. 5
, a conventional coupling system for securing an eyeglass frame
20
to a visor
101
of a cap
10
includes two pairs of protruding members
102
on the bottom surface of the cap visor
101
, two protruding members
201
respectively provided on two top rim portion of the eyeglass frame
20
and two screws
30
. In the center of each inner protruding member
102
is provided with a screwing hole
103
, and in the center of each outer protruding member
102
is provided with a penetrating hole
104
. In the center of each protruding member
201
on each top rim portion ofthe eyeglass frame
20
is provided with a penetrating hole
202
. The eyeglass frame
20
can be securely coupled to the cap visor
101
after each screw
30
successively penetrating through each penetrating hole
104
of each outer protruding member
102
, each penetrating hole
202
of each protruding member
201
on the eyeglass frame
20
and then being screwed in each screwing hole
103
of each inner protruding member
102
.
However, there are following drawbacks in the above-mentioned conventional coupling system for securing an eyeglass frame to a cap visor:
1. It is not convenient to be assembled because each pair of protruding members of the cap visor and each protruding member of the eyeglass frame must correspond to each other before being penetrated by each screw.
2. Because the coupling system is assembled by means of screws and a screwing tool must be used, it causes much inconvenience and trouble for a user to assemble the coupling system.
3. The screws penetrating through the protruding members will easily release after the coupling system being frequently moved for a period of time.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Therefore, an objective of the present invention is to provide a coupling system which includes at least one magnetic article inlaid in a cap visor and a protruding member provided with at least one magnetic article therein and mounted on an eyeglass frame so as to obtain a strong magnetic attractive force to hold the eyeglass frame to the cap visor and can be taken apart by hand.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a coupling system which can make an eyeglass frame be securely coupled to the bottom surface of a cap visor for use or coupled upside down to the top surface of a cap visor for storage and decoration.
Yet another objective of the present invention is to provide a coupling system whose at least one magnetic article is inlaid in a cap visor so that the magnetic force of both ends of the at least one magnetic article can reach both bottom and top surfaces of a cap visor and the appearance of a cap visor will not be influenced.
Accordingly, a coupling system in the present invention is provided for securing an eyeglass frame to a cap visor. The coupling system includes at least one coupling magnetic article inlaid in the cap visor and a protruding member provided with at least one coupling magnetic article therein and mounted on the top rim of the eyeglass frame so as for the eyeglass frame convenient to be securely coupled to the cap visor by the mutual magnetic attractive force of the at least one magnetic article inlaid in the cap visor and the at least one magnetic article in the protruding member.
